NOTES ON THE OPC LIMIT OF CD-R
DISCS
RECORDING
When a non-finalized CD-R is loaded in the record deck,
"OPC" (Optimum Power Control) appears on the
information display. OPC determines the intensity and
duration of the recording laser beam that is best for the
currently loaded disc.
PRECAUTIONS
On recording programmed play
Do not attempt to record a sequence of tracks, as
programmed on your DAT, DCC or other digital sources.
Those tracks would not be numbered continuously. If you
want to record a sequence of tracks, record them one by
one.
Do not open and close the disc tray
unnecessarily
OPC runs every time a non-finalized CD-R disc is loaded,
and OPC can run only a limited number of times
(approximately 100 times) on a non-finalized CD-R disc.
OPC does not run when loading a finalized CD-R disc or a
prerecorded music CD.
About the update process
"UPDATE" is displayed after recording.The update process
writes non-audio data in the PMA (Program Memory Area)
of the disc. When finalizing the disc, TOC (Table Of
Contents) is generated from the PMA data.
When digital input is interrupted during
recording
If incoming digital input from the source device is interrupted
momentarily, such as when the sampling frequency is
changed on the source, a blank segment is recorded. If
there is an interruption longer than 4 seconds, this unit
stops recording and updates the PMA data.
When recording additional tracks
En
Additional recordings are made in sequence to the end of
the last track on a non-finalized CD-R/RW if there is enough
time remaining on the disc.Up to 99 tracks can be recorded
on a single disc.
Minimum length of recording you can make
The shortest possible length of recording is restricted to 6
seconds. In other words, you cannot terminate recording
before the first 6 seconds are up. During this interval,
pressing c or s has no effect.
Compressed audio, and video or graphics data
This unit is not capable of recording compressed audio
like DTS and Dolby Digital Surround sounds. Non-audio
data contained in a Graphics CD or HDCD cannot be
recorded on this unit either.
Copy prohibit
Some commercial CD discs may contain a copy protection
data bit that will prevent the disc from being dubbed. In
this case, "COPY PROHIBIT" will light.

• It is possible to listen to the disc while it is being dubbed
by selecting the appropriate input on your receiver,
preamp or processor.
• Do not use high volume levels when listening to high-
speed dubbings while they are in progress. It may cause
malfunction.
• a does not operate while a dubbing is in progress.
• Tracks will be added automatically to mirror the track
structure of the original disc.
• The default dubbing speed is "real-time". The
recording takes as long as the actual running time of
the disc.
• When no speed indicator lights, the unit is set to real-
time recording.
• Note that the slower the record-dubbing speed, the
more tolerant the unit is of errors on the blank disc.
However, with most high-quality blank discs, the 2x
and 4x speeds should not present a problem.
• The total time indication of the recorded CD may vary
slightly from the original due to variations in the spin speed
of each drive. But no information has been lost in the
recording process.
• If the original disc being dubbed is a digital copy or if it
contains copy-prohibit signals, the unit will automatically
make a copy with real-time speed in analog mode
because of SCMS (see page 26).

indicator are almost lit, and the red segments flash
only occasionally.

UNFINALIZATION
FINALIZATION
To keep the material that is already recorded on a CD-RW
disc and to add an additional track and erase an individual
track, you must first unfinalize the disc.
Finalization completes the recording of a disc so that it
can be played in other machines.
Precautions
• Once a CD-R disc is finalized, the disc cannot be
unfinalized.
• A CD-RW disc can be unfinalized.
• During the finalization process, never switch the power
off, or the disc may be damaged.
3
• Once started, the finalization process cannot be aborted.
• Dust or scratches on a disc may prevent it from being
finalized successfully.

• The finalization process time depends on the disc and
number of tracks.
• During the finalization process the record deck will not
accept any operating commands.
